Lot 234
1807 C-1 R1 F15. Off Center. Glossy dark olive brown with steel brown toning on the high points. Five points sharper but there are a half dozen small pinpricks in the right obverse field, the largest at the dentils off the brow, plus a small planchet crack on the rim over the bust tip, as struck. The surfaces are mostly smooth and attractive, but a glass reveals traces of microscopic crud or verdigris on both sides. Struck 15% off center to K-7, but the upper half of the date is on the planchet and is easily readable. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with the reverse rotated 20 degrees CCW. Davy #07.1.19.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Ex Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/92:242.
